Benjamin Tiller, Rural Real Estate Manager – Western Australia, joined Elders in May 2026 following over 25 years of experience in the global grain and commodity trading industries. Ben served as Head of Trading for the CBH Group from 2019 to 2026 following previous roles within CBH as Head of Accumulations and Transformation Lead Marketing & Trading from 2015. These roles followed employment with global food and energy companies such as Cargill, Inc., Cargill Australia Limited, and CHS Inc. In 2015 Ben returned to his native Perth from Minneapolis where he spent 8 years with Cargill, Inc., based in Minneapolis, USA, trading commodities such as corn, ethanol, gasoline, crude oil and natural gas liquids. Prior to that Ben spent 5 years in Melbourne with Cargill Australia Limited managing the vegetable oil and oilseed commodities desk. During this time Ben was responsible for ensuring oilseed feedstocks were originated, customers were serviced and commercial risk was managed for the Cargill owned Newcastle, Narrabri, and Footscray oilseed crush plants. Ben also managed the commercial relationships with Australian supply chain companies and agencies, and global ocean freight agreements. Prior to Ben’s career with Cargill, he spent 3 years in Canberra with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the statutory authority, the Wheat Export Authority. Ben is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD), is an Approved Arbitrator for Grain Trade Australia and served as a Director and Treasurer of Agribusiness Australia for six years ending in 2025. Ben was raised in Fremantle, Western Australia, and holds a Bachelor of Agribusiness Marketing (Hons.) from Curtin University.
Ben is a values-driven executive with influential leadership skills and strong financial acumen. Ben has a track record of successfully leading large commercial and organisational teams. Through his time with the CBH Group, and prior to this with Cargill Australia Limited, Ben was involved in assessing supply chain assets for lease and commercial agreement, as well as serving on supply chain investment governance committees. CBH Group’s current investment of between A$500 to A$600 million per annum in the Western Australian grain supply chain network provided Ben with opportunity to build strong understanding and knowledge of supply chain project cost/benefit analysis, project prioritisation and execution.
On joining Elders, General Manager Western Region, Matt Ericsson, said the addition of Ben to the leadership team would add to the network’s depth in Western Australia’s rural market. “It is fantastic to have Ben’s experience in our business along with his deep understanding of the Australian grain markets. He knows the people, the landscapes, and the commercial realities that our clients operate in, and that local insight will be a real asset for our teams and our clients across the state and country.”
If you’re thinking about renting or selling your property and you’d like a clearer picture of how much your property might be worth or want to have an informal chat about general property market trading conditions, Ben will be happy to arrange a full market appraisal of your property.
